THE BURTON KEYNOTE The keynote speech of Representative Theodore Burton hefore the Republican National Convention approached the subject of the party’s claim to continued power from a broad viewpoint. Hlis speech was an effective answer to those who have assailed the party as a “do nothing party” and who have declared it was managed and led by men out of touch with the change and progress of the nation. Mr. Burton cited among the accomplishments of his party in the last four years the following: = Restored confidence in business after the war, ended . unemployment and set the wheels of industry humming. Reduced the nation’s debt of twenty-four billions by two jlions in three years, truly a remarkable piece of govern- mental financing. The1921 revenue bill cut taxes eight hundred millions. The foreign debt was funded in a manner to leave no present controversies. The Veterans Bureau was formed to clean up the tangled ?"s4 mess of the disabled veterans departments. Prompt aid was given to starving Russia, proof of the humanity of America. Looking to the future the administration is committed to the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterways. Immigration bills restricting admissions are especially benefiical to labor; a constitutional amendment to prohibit child labor was called for; the policy of protection for in- dustries was adhered to party as a means of preventing on- employment. The first great limitations of armament treaty was pro- _ Claimed. “The party’s leaders are committed to the World Court, to other measures to increase the strength and prestige of the nation abroad, to bring peace in the world, careful man- agement and reduced expenditures to reduce taxes at home. The party stands for regulation of industry to protect the publie rights, rather than governmental ownership of in- custries. in sur marizing thé efforts of Republican leaders in be- half of the farmer, Mr. Burton said: esire to render assistance, legislation was eventh Congress in generous measure. Mr. Bryan, denyi adap et That er leader, credit y arty, h Congr. s: for 50 War Finance Congress ed for continuance of the were ad- an emergen act on adopted; legislation was © protect the rights of the one limiting dealings in grain futures to Corporation, and vanced to furming communities leading grain und other products enacted in a so-alled packe stock rai Is prevent twenty five Farm Lown the end ‘mer from ‘being the victim of manipulation; sditional millions were advanced for ithe Federal Beard; an agricultural credit act was passed at the sixty-seventi Congres ng for both public snd private agencies to aid the farmer in securing credit, stes ing perhaps too much the need of facilities for borrowing, Lut still far-reaching in its provisions. A coopera- tive m rketin: act was passed, a beginning in the furtherance of methods for o1 nization and distribution which, it is hoped, will pli_e the farmer in the enjoyment of the same advantages in narrowing the gap between the producer and the consumer as 3° enloyed in other branches of endeavor.” Further Mr. Burton said: “The Republican party has shown its willingness to extend liberality to the last degree in the enactment of legislation which will aid the farmer, but it cannot respond to impracticable theories or accept measures which will only aggravate the situation.” Mr. Burton stated the three courses open to the govern- ment in relation to economic activities, the old doctrine of laissez farie, the control and management of a central gov- ernment with incidents of public ownership and operation, and hopeless bureaucracy; or regulation representing the power of gieat corporations or combinations, with equal teare guarding against the evils of unrestrained competition. This third is the Republican doctrine securing for the indi- vidual quality of opportunity and avoiding the ills of an unwieldly centralized government. The party has not hesi- tated to espouse regulation measures affecting great wealth. Mr. Burton repeated that the Republican party does not condone misdeeds in office, and the prompt action of Con- gress in giving the President power to act, and the prompt action of President Coolidge, was evidence to the nation dur- ing the oil lease disclosures that wrong-doing is not condoned + by the actual leaders of the nation. _The keynote speaker did not propose new or popular methods of appeal to the country for the party, nor does it “appear likely that the Cleveland convention will descend to the level of demagogues in order to select a popular cam- paign issue. The party can only appeal on its record for the past half century, during which the nation has made its greatest progress. It is a record to inspire trust and con- fidence. ait ae BUGS 2k $cerman farmers. are less interested in reparations and j g.efinance than in the potato bug which is marching from “France to invade their fields.

The titmouse put on his specks and looked at them by the light of| the moon. Each ticket said “One round trip to Holland! There and back!” He punched a hole in each one with his sharp little beak and stuff- ed them into his pocket. “All aboard! Ding, ding!” he cried, and flew off in a hurry Away they went over tree tops and fields and hills and houses until they came to the sea. Then they flew over ward the sun-rise and came to Holland. The titmouse lighted on a red roof with a big chimney. “It’s daylight | here but it’s night at home,” he ex- plained. “Now have a good time, all of you. I'll be back at half past ten to take you back to the magic gar-| den. Be here promptly and please | don't keep me waiting,” “We won't,” promised the travel- ers. Away flew the titmouse. “How d’ do,” said a new voice. And there stood a tall stork beside | a great nest, right on the roof be- side them. | “How d’ do!” said Nancy and Nick | and Johnny Jump Up. | “Pretty well,” said the stork. “Did you come from Africa, too?” “No,” answered the little garden | fairy, “We came from the magic garden, though, and that’s just as The tulips there are wonder- the sea to- then they full” “Pooh!” said the stork sharply out of his sharp bill. “Just look over the edge of the roof there and you'll see what tulips really are,” So all three of them ran and looked. “That’s nothing!” called back Johnny Jump Up. “We have that many at home.” For he wouldn’t let on that they were any finer. “Say,” said the stork. “Some folk are hard to convince. If you jump on my nose, I'll take you around and show you a thing or two.” But no sooner were they all seated on Mr, Stark’s .long bill, than he went “achoo! achoo! achoo!” And away shot the three little peo- ple like beans out of a bean shooter. For the Twins were as tiny as the little fairy himself, with their magic shoes on. Mr. Stork flapped his wings and flew after them. “Oh, I beg your par- don,” he said. “But you see you tickled my nose so.I just had to sneeze. Now hop on again and I'll be more careful. I'll show you all the sights of Holland,” Soon they were all sitting on Mis- ter Storks nose again. And he flew first to a place where tulips were growing—such a large field of them that no matter where you looked, there were tulips. “How lovely!” cried Nancy. “It looks as though a rainbow had fall- en from the sky and broken to pieces.” “Yes, doesn’t it!” agreed the stork. “Holland supplies the world with tulips.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1924 WILL POWER IS LOSING OUT By Albert Apple i As soon as you started to school, you began to hear about the miraculous possibilities of, will power. It is necessary propaganda té keep us from becoming. discouraged too Will power is undoubtedly a mighty weapon. But isn’t there too much Big Talk about it? Deep down in our hearts, every one of us has a sneaking suspicion that the power of the will is exaggerated. es If a new-born baby could see into the future, he’d dis- | cover that, 95 per cent of his life is cut-and-dried — staged for him by forces and situations that are totally beyond his control, even though he had the will power of Niagara Falls. We don’t need to consult a clairvoyant to learn most of the things that will happen to us. Take the child. In sch ol he pores over textbooks that were in the making, thousands of years before he was bern. It is ineyitable that he will recite “Paul Revere,” play hide-and-seek and have to take an oceasional dose of castor oil: 4 3 The child matures into a social and economic system that changes only by the slow processes of evolution. He and His will power have no more to do with the preparation of this system that grabs him in iron claws, than actors have in writing the plays for long-dead Shakespeare. ote The system changes as time rolls on, yes. But the indi- vidual is the slave of the system, and it changes only by mass movements of humanity, without regard to the individual and his reputed will power. ; Few of the réally important things of life are the result of personal will power. Sickness certainly is not acquired by any,exercise of the will. Love comes phantom-like, emo- tional, no will. Marriage occasionally is the result of will power, ‘but usually it’s following the line of least resistance toward comfort. ‘ Comes, finally, death, and removes us from the stage to make room for another even though we have a-will like steel. In toiling for success, however, will power is mighty. This is its real domain — the acquisition of fame and wealth. Without will power and plenty of it, failure or near-failure is almost certain. But after all, are fame and wealth the really important things of life? They are dim shadows behind the brilliance of happiness, content and spiritual improyement— the real purpose of life. LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW, : CONTINUED My employer’s mother is cereal with him while Leslie is away. She is one of those awfully good women who have utterly.infallible rules, of conduct, and shg never by any. possi bility, thinks that her son, “who i a descendant of the John Alden! you know,” could, really do anything wrong. She must be kind of a nuis- ance to poor Leslie. Just at present her time 1s taken up with talking about and hunting for a’se¢ret drawer in a lovely old desk that she herself gave Leslie for a wedding present. Wouldnt it be a scream if she should find this drawer before Leslie returns. and also find something in it that Leslie| herself hasput there? For if there is a secret drawer. I’m sure “that Leslie knows about it. You know how mad she is about: old furniture, and you can make up your mind that she has gone over that old desk ineh by inch, You tell me you never met Ruth Ellington, who seems to be Leslie’s dearest friend. She’s a very clever) woman, my dear, and naturally I don’t like her. I see you are smil- ing, Bee, but that: remark that I have just written does not in any way intimate that you're not clever. However, Ruth Ellington is singu- larly. devoted to Leslie, and I think she’s keeping quite as much tabs on me as Sydney Carton’ is on Mr. Prescott. Just why, I do not know for up to date nothing could be more innecuous than my relations with my employer. I expect you will when you know that adi be horrified although I Aho Tangle. had never been to Leslie's _horfie when she was there to dine, I have been twice to dinner since she has been. away. Do you ‘know, Bee, I felt sorry for Mr. ‘Prescott. He was tired and somewhat irritable, and I knew he just dreaded to go home to that old woman, even if she was his mother. “So I’ took’ pity on him. In fact, I have taken pity on him many other evenings since Leslie has been gone, and” dined with him. Perhaps it wasn’t just right, -but he ig lonely, and so am I. He iriterests me and I think I amuse him, There, I know, Bee, that just now is one of the times when you do not approve of me. But why shouldn't T have a little entertainment? Sure- ly, Mr. Prescott is not just a baby, and. I am so tired of being called upon not only to regulate my own morals but the morals of the men .with whom I associate. And now, just at the end of my letter I am going to tell you some- think that ‘will perhaps surprise you. I think I am being a little malicious because I em a little jesi- ous of Leslie—not particularly of her husband, but of her everday life, her beautiful home, her lgvely baby—yes, and that charming, if narrow-minded, old woman for a mother-in-law, and her friend, Ruth Ellington, who loves her devotedly. Even you, Bee, the dearest friend I have ever had, have never cared for me as Ruth Ellington does, fo Leslie. I am afraid I shall nev call out such love from-anyone, 1 or woman. Perhaps it is because do. not deserve it; but, Bee, I am I am, and if you care for me at all, you must care for me as ' SALLY ATHERTON. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) days.
